The Thong Thuyen culvert behind Vinh market has the function of draining water for Vinh market area and surrounding areas, so when inspecting, city leaders requested functional units to closely monitor and handle when the water level rises.

Inspecting the pumping stations for flooding at Cau Den and Cau Tri, and the water collection pit system, Vinh city leaders requested relevant units to focus on human resources to clear the flow, monitor the storm's developments, and be proactive in flood response plans.

At pumping stations, units need to be on duty 24/7, especially at Cau Tri pumping station, where water fern is pouring in and covering the water, causing blockage of the flow. It is necessary to arrange forces to scoop and clear the flow.
